1. What is FTTH? Answer FTTH cables or Fiber to
the Home technology is the technology used to
deliver signals to the homes of the subscribers
using optical fibers. This technology replaces
the traditional copper wires in order to increase
the speed and efficiency of the transmitted
signals. The time taken by signals to travel
through optical fibers is marginally less as
compared to the time taken by traditional wires.

• 3. How is this different from modems or DSL?
• Answer the speed provided through a modem or a
  DSL has been recorded to be an average of 2
  megabits per second. Whereas FTTH increases this
  to around a 100 megabits per second. Secondly,
  the fiber optics can be considered more
  futuristic, since the technology is flexible
  enough to adjust to the changing times without
  changing their infrastructure. In cases of modems
  and DSLs, however, the infrastructure needs a
  huge change to adjust even the slightest change
  in the technology.

• 4. Is FTTH affordable?
• Answer one of the many good things about the
  FTTH technology is its affordability. Since the
  material used in such optical fibers and FTTH
  Drop cables is cheaper and more flexible, it can
  provide a 10 times better efficiency at an
  effectively lesser cost than the previous
  alternatives. The optical fibers can be spread at
  large distances without having the risk of
  corrosion or interference. This saves the cost of
  regularly replacing them.
